The hazards included 03 level clamp down during heavy rolls, the perilous midnight pilgrimages to aft steering, and Ryan. Who can forget the wonderful bus ride through the mountains of Sicily C'Sorry, Stacy, I didn't think I needed a bagj. Reveille marked by GMGI and Big Joel's harmonious flatulence was comple- mented by the sight of Barto's delicate applica- tion of Anusol. Ford tried to moonlight as a security guard in Rota while Faulk was Sleepless on Seattle. Thank goodness that Eggs caught Mike Free Bird Walters before he ran to Lebanon. The artistic Lup Dog continually wetted our whistle, at the Back Door Pub. Maybe next Med, Chilli will get liberty. OG Division mas- tered the necessary skills to operate and maintain all weapons aboard, whether shifting steering units or navigating by gryo, they were often awake and usu- ally did it right. Although OG Divi- sion fought their only battle with needle gunS, their professionalism and loyal devotion to duty re- flected great credit upon themselves and was in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.

OE Dlvlslon Unfortunately for OE Division, they ignored many, many warnings from the Cruisebook editor regarding a divisional write-up. For months, they avoided writing a small blurb describing their work, so now this book will be devoid of any of their ac- complishments, which actu- ally were quite impressive: the ETS fixed those radar thingees that We common folk don't understand and safety checked our Gameboys and Disc players, and the EWS maintained round-the-clock watches in CIC while keeping chaff and Nixie operational. But we'll never know this because OE refused to contribute to this publication. Instead, the edi- tor could use this space to call them names, like non- watchstanding skates, CETS onlyj or prima donna geeks. But perhaps this page could be best used with these words: SPACE FOR RENT Inquire Wlthm
